2016 NFL MOCK DRAFT

This Mock Draft is not intended to rank the players based on ability, but will take into account the yearly ineptitude of Daniel Snyder and The Bills Braintrust (yes, that’s an oxymoron) as well as the annual Oakland Raiders dart toss. We also give you the last five picks at the spot, starting with 2010, along with their draft grade. Click Here for Draft Grading System

Sam Darnold, USC

Cleveland Browns

They could make a powerhouse team, but it seems instead they will draft a tosser that's probably not going to be better than Tyrod Taylor, at least not for the next two years. There's certainly a lot to like about Darnold, but he's not a star in the making and even if he does develop in a few years guys like Myles Garrett and Jarvis Landry will be gone.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Carson Palmer.

Plan B: QB Baker Mayfield, RB Saquon Barkley

Josh Allen, Wyoming

Buffalo Bills (Mock trade with the Giants)

The Bills are one of the many inept NFL organizations, and we expect them to trade up. Whether it's this far, or to five or six, someone will pluck both of their 2018 first round picks plus a few other tasty morsels. To double down on their stupidity, we have them taking the next Jake Locker in Tarzan/Jane prospect Josh Allen. He looks great but he's not good at quarterbacking. Allen needs to give Carson Wentz half of his signing bonus.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Jake Locker .

Plan B: QB Josh Rosen, QB Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma

New York Jets (via trade with Colts)

Broadway Baker arrives in New York.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Brett Favre.

Plan B: QB Josh Allen, QB Josh Rosen

Saquon Barkley, Penn State

Cleveland Browns (via Texans)

Most people would be surprised if Barkley makes it to four, but running backs this early are a rare thing.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Barry Sanders.

Plan B: CB Josh Jackson, QB Sam Darnold

Bradley Chubb, N.C. State

Denver Broncos

Most people think Barkely is the safest pick, but we're voting for Chubb.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Demarcus Ware.

Plan B: CB Denzel Ward, LB Roquan Smith

Denzel Ward, Ohio State

Indianapolis Colts (via trade with Jets)

Ward is the only corner in this class with shutdown potential.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Darrelle Revis.

Plan B: DT Vita Vea, CB Josh Jackson

Derwin James, Florida State

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Florida State has a great history with defensive backs, and the Bucs need help in the back end.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Landon Collins.

Plan B: S Minkah Fitzpatrick, CB Denzel Ward

Tremaine Edmunds, Virginia Tech

Chicago Bears

Big and bad, he could be the next Brian Urlacher.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Brian Urlacher.

Plan B: LB Roquan Smith, CB Denzel Ward

Minkah Fitzpatrick, Alabama

San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers need a premier receiver but there's not good value here. Fitzpatrick is a ready made replacement for Eric Reid.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Honey Badger.

Plan B: OT Mike McGlinchey, DE Marcus Davenport

Roquan Smith, Georgia

Oakland Raiders

The Raiders need corners but Roquan would be tough to pass on here.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Lavonte David.

Plan B: CB Josh Jackson, OT Mike McGlinchey

Lamar Jackson, Louisville

Miami Dolphins

An innovative, offensive minded head coach. One of the best tossers to ever grace college football. A chance to laugh at the Bills and Jets for years to come and thumb their nose at the Patriots. It would be too much to bear.

If the past is prologue he will be the next Russell Wilson.

Plan B: DT Vita Vea, LB Tremaine Edmunds
